Champagne

Champagne is perhaps the most widely recognised style of wine from France anywhere in the world and is often a byword for style and sophistication. At The Dorset Wine Company we like to travel off the beaten track and you will only see a few of the many well known Grand Marque houses on our list as we like to champion the smaller growers whose passion and dedication originates in the vineyard as opposed to on the marketing mans desk. We feel that growers such as Camille Savès and Pierre Paillard (amongst others), who own all of their own vineyards and have complete control of the winegrowing and winemaking process from start to finish, offer the adventurous drinker a far more rewarding experience than many of the (much) more expensive, but better known names. If you have not tried these wines before, we can only urge you to do so and we promise that you'll be in for a treat.
